    (2016) Tuncer, Hasan Aykut; Kirnap, Mahir; Dursun, Polat; Ayhan, Ali; Moray, Gokhan; Haberal, Mehmet; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5434-1025; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2498-7287; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3462-7632; 25807337; K-1760-2018; AAH-9198-2019; AAJ-5802-2021; AAE-1041-2021; AAJ-8097-2021
    A range of cancer types, at increased rates, is described in renal transplant recipients receiving immunosuppression. Aside from immunodeficiency, heightened medical surveillance for cancer, lifestyle, and other risk factors all play a role. Although the relation between cancer risk and degree of immunodeficiency might not be linear, and might be different for a wide range of cancer subtypes, human papillomavirus-related cancers in long-term transplant recipients may suggest the role of even modest immunosuppression, when present long enough. High-risk human papillomavirus types are recognized as the cause of cancer of the cervix. We report a 49-year-old female renal transplant recipient diagnosed with cervical squamous cell carcinoma, 5 years after the transplant. Based on this patient, we highlight difficulties in surgical approach and the importance of close clinical follow-up including regular gynecologic screening for cervical premalignant and malignant lesions.

    Uterine smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential: fertility and clinical outcomes
    (2019) Sahin, Hanifi; Karatas, Funda; Coban, Gonca; Ozen, Ozlem; Erdem, Ozlem; Onan, Mehmet Anil; Ayhan, Ali; 0000-0002-3285-5519; 31074239
    Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological features, obstetric, and oncological outcomes of patients diagnosed with a uterine smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP). Methods: A dual-institutional, database review was carried out to screen patients with STUMP who were treated with upfront surgery between January 2006 and December 2017. Data including age at the time of diagnosis, recurrence rate, disease-free survival, overall survival, and fertility outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Fifty-seven patients with STUMPs were included in the study. The median age at the time of diagnosis was 42 (range, 16 to 75) years. The median follow-up was 57 (range, 16 to 125) months. Eight patients (14%) had recurrence during follow-up. Recurrent STUMPs were seen in seven patients and leiomyosarcoma after 14 months in one patient. Seven patients with a recurrent STUMP survived, while the remaining patient died. Recurrence rates were similar for women who underwent myomectomy and those who underwent hysterectomy. The presence of uterine localization of tumor (subserosal vs intramural-submucosal) statistically significantly affected recurrence rates (odds ratio=5.72; 95% confidence interval=1.349-24.290; p=0.018). Ten of 27 patients who underwent myomectomy for uterine myoma had fertility desire. Seven pregnancies were recorded. Conclusions: Our study results suggest that fertility-sparing approaches are feasible in patients with STUMP, although recurrence may be seen.
